Earlier last year, a Federal Court judge found, on the burden of proof required in a civil trial, that Bruce Lehrmann sexually assaulted Higgins in the Parliament House office of their then-boss Senator Linda Reynolds in March 2019.
Lehrmann has denied that any sexual activity occurred between himself and Higgins, and has appealed the judge's findings against him.
Higgins released a lengthy statement after the ruling.In it, she said:
"It has been five years of criminal and civil trials and government inquiries for the truth to finally be heard.
"It is now time to heal."
